At 10am, today 6.15.24, I got back from a $133 buy at Manlove auto parts at 117 E Market st Georgetown De 19947. I showed my book to a sales rep there. Model A & AA ford paint & finish guide. 4th edition. I pointed to the color on pg 71, commercial gray, and took me into his paint ‘lab.’ He...

Always thought my ‘32 AA was a Brewster green. Then after I got the above book, it most certainly is NOT Brewster green, but commercial gray. See pg 71 in the above book. Pg 71 is the picture with a single color stripe.

Y’all want the mother load end all, be all guide for A & AA paints Check out thisguide https://www.mafca.com/cart/index.php?productID=129 As a teaser, I took this pics of my book, no copyright infringement intended.

Granted I took a second look at the book. I still have 16 more pages of 4 colors per page to look through. Good chance my decision the AA being Bonnie Gray is going to change in the next 60 colors.

Bonnie gray is almost a green itself. Granted none of these tudors represent my AA, just look at the color and tell me I wouldn’t have mistaken it for green.

Looking at my book. My truck could be a ‘rock moss green’. RMG vs Brewster, without having a paint chip on hand, the two seem so close it would take a trained eye to see the difference.

Either way, my paint book from brattons just came in. Has paint chips of all the stock vehicles, I think, haven’t looked through it thoroughly yet. My hopes are with this book, I can positively identify the colors I am seeing on my AA, instead of ‘I think it’s Brewster green.’

Wrong. Green is NOT a primary color. Technically speaking, it’s a secondary color, but who cares. Point is, green is made by mixing blue and yellow. Your primary are RYB.

If anyone knows anything about Perkins. Am I wrong when I summarize them as the god of durability and endurance for non road use?

This has nothing to do with model A’s, but everything to do with my AA. In the early 1980’s, Perkins diesels were dropped into Ford Rangers at the factories. Looking into it briefly, I paraphrase this other person also seeking more information on that topic. They *knew* that only 180-200 of...

When I finish my AA. I have two choices. Go back and restore a TT. Or go forward and restore a BB?
